Lynn’s Review: A Court of Mist and Fury is a complete 180 turn. In as much I loved Court of Thorns and Roses, I loved this even more. And that may seem unusual for a second book in a series. But it’s so very true. More feels. More tension. More everything I want in a book. […]
Julie’s Review: Here’s the thing. I have a peeve. Well, I have tons of peeves about bookish stuff, and I’ve written about them plenty before. And this one hits upon a peeve of mine. First, let’s chat about what I did like. I liked the characters and the unique personalities. The three main characters each […]
Lynn’s Review: A book review in chart form: I guess a regular review, too. There were some aspects about Starflight that I really did enjoy. It’s a good starter sci fi book. There aren’t a bunch of weird character or place names to try and remember. It’s not heavy on the science. The only […]
Julie’s Review: This book was simultaneously a fairy tale and a very serious glimpse into our history. I thought the combination was very well done and interesting. I loved how the book started off with the tale of the three sisters and their curse to be stuck until they can save a soul on […]
Lynn’s Review: For a book with dragon in the title, A Shadow Soul was significantly lacking in actual dragons. The first brief mention is +190 pages in. The actual dragon doesn’t appear until +320 pages. Of a total 335 pages. A bit of a let down there. Instead, we have Jin and Rhen, searching for […]
Lynn’s Review: If you are at all familiar with Chapter Break, you know how much Julie and I love Vampire Academy and Bloodlines. My first impression was YAY a new series by Richelle Mead! But then I read Glittering Court. And I wasn’t in love at all. There was no Dimitri fighting Strigoi. And no […]
Julie’s Review: I really enjoyed the first installment of the Raven series. It had just enough teenage girl angst to be interesting and let the main character Piper be relatable without coming across as teenage drama queen. The book certainly took its time developing Piper and her struggle to accept her mother’s death and having […]
Lynn’s Review: Lady Midnight is another story in the continuing saga of the Shadowhunters by Cassandra Clare. This time out, we learn about Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn. Parabatai. Best friends. And maybe a little bit more. I have mixed feelings about Lady Midnight. Parts I did thoroughly enjoy. And parts that I’m still confused […]
Lynn’s Review: Let’s just get this out of the way – Not. Enough. Evan. Walker. In this book. Source Though, seriously, Evan Walker does make me wonder why we are attracted to the hero type. Always sacrificing himself for us. Definitely appealing to me, at least. Also, I now visualize the actors from the movie […]
Julie’s Review: Numbers Ignite was a good middle book. But that is definitely what it is – a transitional middle book in a series. It has the job of bridging the chaos and setting up the plot for the big finale by agitating the problem, or creating a new one. And this book? It created […]
